Bunker floor plans

Underground bunkers now and then.

The purpose and build of underground bunkers has changed over the time.

Underground bunkers

During WW2 when the cities were bombed relentlessly the fear was high explosives from air raids. Bunkers were built of brick and stone, covered with arched corrugated metal, and then buried under few feet of dirt. See also pictures from the Churchill's underground bunker in picturesque Dollis Hill, north-west London.

After nuclear bombs were dropped on Japan underground bunkers took on a new shape. The fear was now nuclear weapons that could destroy an entire city in one fell swoop. The cold war era shelter was a deep underground bunker able to be self sufficient for very long periods of time and protect from nuclear blasts and radiation. They were very expensive.

Today there are new fears shaping the attitudes of modern bunkers. Economic collapse, social collapse, anarchy created form the collapse of our own monetary system, pandemic, coronal mass ejections, terrorism and other natural disasters such as tornados and hurricanes. The trend is an urban foxhole style of bunker. An urban foxhole is a smaller security bunker. Bunkers Now and Then.

Underground bunker design

There are all kinds of reasons why someone might want the reassurance of several tons of concrete reinforcement around their home. But could you actually live in an underground bunker?

That's where the underground bunker design comes in. Because an underground bunker can become our home for a long time. Some people even live in well designed bunkers on permanent basis.

Underground survival bunker

Modern underground survival bunkers provide a complete all threat shelter solution. Survival bunkers can be discreetly built just about anywhere. They can be stocked with food, water and fuel for a minimum of one year for a company of 4 or 12.

Beware of the low cost, corrugated drain pipe bunkers, or fiberglass cocoons, that are little more than overrated storm shelters. Safety, security, strength and comfort shouldn't be compromised! Have a real, concrete and steel bunker that is built to survive virtually any catastrophe that may be ahead.

Urban foxhole bunker floor plan

Smaller bunkers, urban foxholes that no one knows about and are accessed from your own home or located under your patio can be used for securing your family and your food and water and arms storage, they can be used as a safe when you are not at home, they can even be used as a wine cellar. In these systems you will enter and exit it throughout the day or night and take cover in it when needed. During times of civil unrest your family can sleep in the shelter, and someone will always stand guard in the main parts of the house. The object is to never let your home look abandoned if possible. If the home has to be abandoned because of flooding, everything will be safe while you are gone. And remember, you never want you bunker to be your coffin, so make certain you have an emergency escape! Supply batteries, and lots of them. Be protected in a faraday cage...

Best plan for underground bunker

When you plan your own underground bunker take suit from neighbours. A humble mansion on the surface. A bunker with playrooms for much loved children and a wine cellar and gun room underneath.

An urban foxhole in London's elite area of Kensington features a ballroom and swimming pool with hot tub, gym, ping pong and billiards room, climbing wall, bowling alley, sauna and massage room, cinema, media suites, wine cellar, kitchen, servants' quarters, as well as 15 bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 20 toilets. An obvious necessity in case of a zombie apocalypse is a car lift and turntable to evacuate Ferraris into underground vintage car museum.

Over the past four years, the local authority of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea alone has granted planning applications for more than 800 underground bunkers of a kind, refused 90, and has a further 20 bunker plans outstanding.
